FreedomWorks will host the premiere of the Atlas Shrugged trailer at the CPAC(Conservative Political Action Conference) on Feb 15. That's interesting. I wonder if they're going to go for a grass roots marketing deal, knowing the target audience.
It is a small film with a reported budget of 15mil and a cast of relative unknowns.
According to Variety, The Godfather (1972) producer Albert S. Ruddy spent years trying to bring the novel to the big screen, attracting the interest of Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway along the way.
I couldn't imagine if Robert Redford had been in the film that it would resemble the book at all. I'd imagine it would somehow turn it into a film AGAINST big business.
IMDB notes that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were also involved at a certain point. Again, strange.
The release date is set for April 15(Tax Day) and the movie is rated pg-13. Will the critics be kind, or will it be written off as movie catering to tea party folks?
